On July 1, 2015, the Planning Division received an application for review and approval of a five-unit condominium subdivision on one lot of the recorded Curly Willow Subdivision.  The property is located on the east side of South 56^th Street West, south of Interstate-90.  The property is not within the County zoning jurisdiction and therefore, in accordance with Chapter 8 of the County Subdivision Regulations, this condominium development must be reviewed as a subdivision.  The Planning Board will conduct a plat review at this meeting and a public hearing on August 25, 2015.
 

Staff recommends the Planning Board recommend that the Yellowstone County Board of County Commissioners conditionally approve the preliminary plat of the Curly Willow Condos Subdivision and adopt the Findings of Fact as presented in the staff report.

PROPOSED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
Pursuant to Section 76-3-608(4), MCA, the following conditions are recommended to reasonably minimize potential adverse impacts identified within the Findings of Fact.
 
 

1. To minimize the effects on public health and safety, prior to final plat approval the subdivider shall receive approval from the RiverStone Health for the proposed shared septic system and well.

 
 

2. To minimize affects on local services, the Rural Special Improvement District (RSID) established for the maintenance of the dry hydrant system, on Lot 2, shall be expanded to include each individual condominium.

 
 

3. To minimize the effects on the natural environment, a weed management plan and property inspection shall be approved by the County Weed Department, prior to final plat approval.

 
 

4. Minor changes may be made in the SIA and final documents, as requested by the Planning and/or Public Works Departments to clarify the documents and bring them into the standard acceptable format.         

 
 

5. The final plat shall comply with all requirements of the County Subdivision Regulations, rules, regulations, policies, and resolutions of the Yellowstone County, and the laws and Administrative Rules of the State of Montana.

No variances were requested.
